    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Tiger Reef sits just off the coast, a solid intermediate dive down to 21m. It’s a good spot for finding some of the more common reef fish and often attracts barracuda cruising the edges. Currents here can vary, sometimes quite brisk, so be prepared for a drift. We’d suggest this site for divers comfortable with a bit of movement who enjoy observing typical reef activity.
